The one on the bonnet? Mine doesn't, or at least I don't think it does. Last time I checked, it had two posts that held it in place.

If your logo is spinning, time to go to the dealer and have it fixed. It's not supposed to move.

Your logo spins? Are you feeling ok? Are you mistaking your steering wheel logo for this other logo

Your MINI and its emblem are out of sync with the earth's rotation. Go to your nearest college and have the astronomy department help you out (You'll have to leave your MINI there until leap year, however).

scandune,

If it is rotating at 60 cycles per second, then it is in sync with the universe; leave it alone.

Go visual - thousands of Mini owners go to their garages and focus on the spinning black dot.

You are getting sleepy, very very sleepy.
